For example, you can change all object colors to black except for the triangle. Step 2: Click on the hidden menu on the Layers panel and select Flatten Image.
Click OK. Now only the visible layers are flattened and your final image would look like this. By now you should see the major difference between flattening layers and merging layers. When you merge layers, you are able to select and edit different layers. But if you flatten layers, all layers combine into one image, you can only edit the whole image and the transparency will become solid background.
Your email address will not be published. Photoshop is a design software made by Adobe Inc. Only saving a file as a JPG makes it a jpeg. Flattening a PSD file keeps it at its current settings. I use bit, ProPhoto color space. That doesn't change, even when I flatten. Sorry, I didn't say what I meant. I was really emphasizing that if you flatten instead of merge layers then you will not have a transparent background. For example if you are trying to put 2 cutout images together and flatten them, they will have a white background and not transparent - just like you get if you save as a jpeg.
Correct, but it doesn't change the format of the original! It just puts the merged layers on a white background. While merge visible only will maintain the transparency, if any is in the originals. Chandra, can you explain what you mean by adding a color marker and how you do that. Sounds interesting. This can be done by right-clicking on the right side of a layer and going to Layer Properties. There'll be an option for colors on the drop-down menu. Or it can be coded when you create the layer.
Yes, that's what I mean. But, I use the shortcut cut: Right click on the eyeball of that layer, and pick your color. Your background layer it's usually adviced to never work directly on this layer. That way you always have a quick reference to your original and can easily get back to it if you decide you've gone overboard Now say, you create a blank layer above this to do some cloning type of fixes. When you are done and get it looking just right, you could leave it as it's own layer, OR you could Merge it Down onto the Background Copy layer to kind of simplify things.
Now, you decide you want to Blur the background or Sharpen, or run an Action, Plug in, etc on the image , you decide you need to merge all your layers together so you can "start fresh" at that point. This will merge all visible layers and give me a "flattened image" to work on, yet keep all my layers intact below it in case I change my mind later. Like I said earlier, I will color mark this layer so it's easily identifiable and I also rename it "merged all below".
But wait! I don't flatten my "masterfiles" often, but say I want to experiment with some various Actions or effects. I have an image with 15 layers. Then, I will play around on that one and leave my masterfile alone. When I come up with something I like, I will flatten it, then drag it over to my Masterfile as the top layer and lable the it like Merge all below - xx effect applied, etc. When you merge, the resulting layer takes the characteristics of the top layer?
Same deal with Flatten? The top layer determines the result? Is it worth the hefty price tag? We take a look at the Cine, the high-end model in this series.

Nik Silver Efex Pro 3, one of the standout components of Nik Collection 4, is a black-and-white conversion tool that goes far further than the grayscale or black-and-white tools built into all-in-one photo apps. For some users, this app alone might be worth the cost of the whole collection — find out for yourself in our review. The Nikon Z mm F2. Thank you so much. It should solve the problem of a colour shift for me.
